THIS IS MY FIND THIS WEEKEND. IT IS A HEAVY LITTLE CLOCK THAT CAUGHT MY EYE. IT STANDS 5 1/2 INCHES TALL TO THE TOP OF STEM.OVERALL WIDTH IS 3 ICHES. IT IS MARKED 17 JEWELS RAILWAY REGULATOR LEVER SWISS MADE. THE GLASS IS BUBBLED AND MAGNIFIES THE FACE AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE CLOCK. THE CLOCK SWIVELS IN THE HARR FREELY. THE MOUNT AND BASE LOOKS TO BE OF BRASS AND MARBLE CONSTRUCTION. IN NEED OF A STEM SPRING BUT I LIKED IT ON SIGHT.
Wow ...Love it
I guess with the demand of the "steampunk" style designs, these clocks and pocket watches have gotten faked a lot in the past ten or fifteen years. I'm no expert but if you want it for anything other than a mantle piece I would have it checked out by a professional if I were you. Nice clock, thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's a Chinese fake. These clocks/watches are made by the tenthousands nowadays and they all have that same Chinese movement. There's nothing Swiss on this watch.
They are really nice to look at though.
